^

500 quid for inlet (15bhp)

150-300 for 4 branch manifold (mild - stainless) (4bhp)

400ish for chip and live mapping (5 bhp)

all quite conservative estimates of power gain... driveability after mapping far superior also

why not try the dbilas inlet from regal. i nearly bought this before i got my mantzel. well worth getting one. makes a instant HUGE difference to performance.

if u havnt got one already get a decent exhaust and replacement filter/induction kit.

a mantzel is just a plenum chamber with the throtal body just after the filter. it gets rid of all the pipe wotk and weired shaped intake manifold.

i wonder if a plenum chamber off another car bould be machined to fit? like off an MR2 or somthing?

The obvious solution would be the 8v inlet but i think its been tried and failed.

The problem is its pretty tight back there
